I Come Bearing New Wine

By Beloved El Morya

Looking upon the
secret places of heart and consciousness, I find that the Cup of Peace which
is the
rightful heritage of the unfolding spiritual nature has not been present among
my chelas.
Without the constancy of that Peace, which again is likened unto an arbor of
delicate
apple blossoms protecting the contemplative Buddha upon His Lotus Throne, there
is neither
personal development nor opportunity to leaven the loaf so far as other lifestreams
are
concerned.

The
condition of consciousness amongst our devotees of long-standing warrants a
renewed
opportunity to drink of the Communion Cup of Peace in the companionship of
the Masters
without untoward homage to personality. It is My intent to give such renewed
opportunity,
once more letting the healing balm of our Presence and the Joy of the Masters'
friendship flow freely to all life, without requiring allegiance of Guru to
any but the
Ascended Master Sponsor.

Looking down the
course of the past years, I AM extremely grateful to see that the faith and hope and confidence which I have vested in our New
Endeavor has borne fruit of a marvelous and lasting nature. Who could have
said such a short time ago that across the face of America there would be knit
together in earnest service and enthusiasm such dedicated lifestreams willing
to accept Truth on its own merit!

If only you could
appreciate the precious few times We are privileged to initiate from Our level
a new
Vibration over which the Word of God can reach those Torch Bearers who have
always been
the vanguard of evolution. Then would you better understand Our extreme gratitude
and
encouragement that so many have eagerly grasped this Truth without the necessity
of our
expending countless tons of energy to convince the intellect of the authenticity
of the
message or the perfection of its Source.

Once the original
founding Messenger has left the field of action, the followers, still bathed
in our
Radiation released through him, are already committed to believe in the authenticity
of
that Word and whatever seeks to drape itself in the founder's garments. Thus it is
far easier to pick up the tenets of an established movement than it is to open
the door
for the outpouring of an entirely new Dispensation. The intensity and fervor
of this New
Wine of the Spirit is bound to meet with that trait of human resistance which
fears and
suspects change and shrinks from the strenuous personal effort to rise above
the
stultified state in which the soul and finer bodies have been more or less
slumbering.

If the Truth be known
and bravely spoken, many who style themselves Ascended Master students have
knowingly or
unknowingly become content in the hopes of a "vicarious atonement!" Yes
"vicarious atonement." I said it. Though to tell a student that he or she is the
maker of his own destiny is to rouse a sleeping tiger! Such unfortunates choose
a
"savior," or "savioress." Thereafter their conscience is clear and
their accountability absolved, according to their standards. They rest in the
comfortable
illusion that if only they believe and obey on blind faith, such a self-proclaimed
"lifeline" in guise of Guru will bear their recumbent chela forms safely to the
farther shore where Life Eternal and the variegated gifts of their own personally
endowed
Heaven await them!

This tragic delusion
has crept imperceptibly through the ranks of many so-called "emancipated"
lightbearers even as it swallowed up the orthodox Christian world centuries
ago. The
emancipated, while thinking themselves above the sorry belief in the vicarious
"Blood
of the Lamb," have merely transferred the burden of their salvation to someone other
than an orthodox Jesus. And unfortunately for the most part they have returned
to the same
entrancing slumbers which have caused the recalcitrant race of men to become
a blight on
the whole solar system!

Just when you think
the students are safely on the Path, having once been set free by the heroic
efforts of
the Angelic Host and in particularly Lord Michael, like children desiring to
return to the
womb of the mother, they curl up again in the shadow of their new Redeemer,
cease to make
further effort, and expect salvation through that one's presumed achievements! Sad
the day when they awake to find that their Redeemer has ceased to walk the
Way of Truth
and that their own journey — dependent on the forward progress of the star to which
their wagon's hitched — has been stale-mated, or still worse…retrogressed!

My Beloved Ones, I
speak boldly to deflect with My Shield the gravest of dangers, which presents
itself side
by side with this dubious awakening. For at that critical moment there is that
human
tendency to overreact, to rebound instantly to the opposite extreme where the
once Beloved
Teaching and Revered Teachers are themselves placed under the most severe indictment!1

Yes Beloved Ones, I
have heard the thousands of voices in the night crying out, "Morya, do
something!" Well I have heard your calls and I have answered. The Temple of The
Presence is my response. Not the response you intended perhaps, but nevertheless
the one
decreed by the Wisest amongst our Brotherhood. If you question this necessity
you have not
yet understood the lesson of the New Wineskins as taught by the Christ long
ago.
Understand that even I am not above the sovereign Laws which govern free will.

Patience
being the order of Heaven, We ourselves have been compelled — UNTIL NOW— to stand aside and watch as souls precious to us once again
slip back into the same sorry superstitions. Only this time the ancient glamors
and mayas
proudly parade themselves in the sacred lexicon of the Brotherhood! Lest I
Myself be
accused of exaggeration, I cite the following: One who professes to represent Us has
been so bold as to canonize by innuendo and by use of Our Name the tenet that
the
Ascension can come only through her and her personal intercession as Guru.

I say to you that
this threadbare pronouncement and its illegitimate siblings are but the peeping
and
muttering of the psychic plane, a trendy smorgasbord of unclean meats served
up in the
name of "progressive revelation" to be swallowed whole without benefit of
mastication! Many know in their heart of hearts that these mythical dogmas
fly in the face
of everything that is good and true about the Teachings of the Ascended Masters
inherited
from Our Messengers over the past century. They know, but fear to act, for fear
of the ancient papal threat of damnation once again held over their heads,
"Could
it possibly? Somehow might it be? What if I lose my Ascension?"

I say to you,
"Doubt Not! Fear Not!" To you who hesitate and tremble — I, Morya, leave
this my Solemn Pledge,

My Messengers stand
Fearlessly in My Ray! Fear not any articulated reproach from Me or My Peers
where there is
only the utmost Compassion. Fear not to purge your cups of psychic vanity.
Tremble not in
anticipation of anyone's supposed occult powers. My Shield of Love intercepts all
slings and arrows which instead cascade softly as rose petals round your blessed
feet.
Thus I extend to you this new Cup holding the eternally New Wine of our Ascended
Presence.

I AM the
Mighty Pillar of the Temple! Approach Ye Vigilant Ones!

Tarry not at Morya's
Call. Be steadfast and lay thy pathway unto me!
Let those whose names I speak, arise and build My Temple!
Let such as these, illumined by Spirit, walk boldly into The Temple!

And now it merely awaits your response to see if I shall be as condemned if
I do, as if I don't.

I sign Myself your Sponsor still, if you will have Me.
My Messengers approach. Receive them in My Name.
